If You Want To Be Taken Seriously, Don't Act Like A Twit

Modern academic feminism is hurting women by teaching them to
see themselves as victims rather than empowered individuals, according
to American Enterprise Institute scholar Christina Hoff Sommers.

Hoff Sommers, in an interview with Clay Routledge of Psychology
Today, argued that women in academia are being treated like children.

"Women are not children. We are not fragile little birds who
can't cope with jokes, works of art or controversial speakers," Hoff
Sommers said. "Trigger warnings and safe spaces are an infantilizing
setback for feminism — and for women."

Yes, what she said. And not just about women, either, but for all adults.
